Jordan in photos

Such a cool place in the Middle East. Famous for Petra, the Dead Sea, and the desert vibes of Wadi Rum. Amazing mix of history and landscapes!

Bedouins are nomadic Arab tribes who traditionally lived in the deserts of the Middle East, known for their hospitality, resilience, and deep connection to the land.

The Bedouins know the Wadi Rum desert, which covers about 720 km², like the back of their hand. They told me they recognize the paths across the desert, and at night they navigate by the stars.

Their food is simple but full of flavor. One of the most famous dishes is zarb, meat and vegetables cooked in an underground oven. Too bad I didn’t take a photo, but they showed us how it’s done. Evenings with them by the campfire were amazing, they were so honest when we asked questions.

  1. An incredible set of photos, Anna. You capture the spirit of travel, and give us a beautiful glimpse of the mystery of Jordan — both the landscapes and the people shine through here. Your description of the Bedouins’ knowledge of Wadi Rum is what I most admire about the culture, both through travel there and in the history books… those evenings by the campfire makes the place feel alive in a way that goes far beyond the usual Petra-and-Dead-Sea clichés. Well done!
